Setup Your Owl Mail in Outlook

Before you continue with these instructions, please make sure you set your Owl Apps Password in the MyFAU accounts page.

Log into MyFAU and click the My Account link on the top left and then Set Owl Apps Account Password. You can use the same password as you do for your FAUNet ID, but keep in mind that the Owl Mail password is not synchronized with your FAUNet ID password, so if you change your FAUNet ID password the OwlMail password will not change unless you manually change it.

In the “User Name”' field, enter FAUNetID@fau.edu. In the “Password” field enter your Owl Apps password, as mentioned above.

Click More Settings, then the Advanced tab.

Incoming server must be 993, and must use SSL3 encryption.

Outgoing server can use 587,TLS4 encryption.

Click the Outgoing Server tab. Make sure that “My outgoing server (SMTP) requires authentication” is selected. The radio button “Use same settings as my incoming mail server” should also be selected.

Click OK > Next > Finish > Close > OK.

You should now be able to receive your Owl Apps Mail powered by Google.
